Buttons refer to the need to find ways to keep certain things together. Unbuttoning generally represents an opening up of your emotions or ideas. You may be leaving yourself open to new possibilities, as you are letting go of old thoughts and ways of doing things. To dream that you are unbuttoning your own clothes, denotes that you are opening yourself to others, either on a mental, emotional, or sexual level. Alternatively, and on a positive side, buttoning up may reflect a need to conserve and to pull inward, to 'button' your lip or to restrain yourself in some way. The more negative interpretation of 'buttoning...
